Excerpt from The Building of the Ship While abroad he had lost his young wife, and after a season of chastening had again married and settled down into the quiet life of Craigie house, which was to be his home for almost a half-century. Several volumes of his poems, including "Evangeline," had appeared; the public were already talking about him; and fame was assured. The suggestion for "The Building of the Ship" came from Schiller's "Song of the Bell," which Longfellow had read with delight and which supplied him not only with the idea but also with an effective metre in which to clothe it, - long lines, expressing calm reflection, short lines expressing action, impatience, or excitement. Like its German prototype, "The Building of the Ship" presents the constructive idea, the thought of joyous and successful labor, the union of strength and beauty, and the analogy in human life, namely, the union of maid and lover. But here, as always, Longfellow borrowed nothing that he did not adorn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Blue Ship Each year when you come back again, she said, I wonder whether you'll be good at last Whether those foolish notions in your head May have been buried with the year just past. NO Stubborn you. But why persist, my friend 3 Our comradeship has meant so much to me, Why risk what now may bring it to an end, For something that can never, never be?

Excerpt from The Ship: Her Story Possibly more interesting to an Englishman.

Excerpt from A Ship of Solace I DO not intend to write a treatise on the sea and sailing-ships; I could not if I would, for I have too little of that definite knowledge which goes to the compiling of such things besides, it is always difficult in any case to be definite about what one feels very deeply, or to have a precise knowledge regarding anything which is a complete joy, a realization of some unuttered and but half under stood desire of an entire lifetime.

Excerpt from The Shining Ship: And Other Verse for Children LL day I see the ships sail in, the sun upon their spars, And silently at night they pass between me and the stars.

Excerpt from When My Ship Comes In The room resembled a chapel. There was an organ built into one wall. There was a rose window, an altar, lilies, a smell of incense. The room didn't resemble a chapel. There was a large rosewood table with a desk telephone. There was a cheval-glass. There was a divan. There was a suit of armor. There was a woman in a sort of coarse nightgown, a rope round the waist, who grovelled, sobbing, in the middle of the floor. There was a smell of cigar smoke. Up and down the room there paced a man of forty; he dragged his left foot slightly and kept combing a thicket of unnaturally black hair straight up with the long, white fingers of his left hand. He appeared to be lashed into a sort of fury. He kept shouting: "She won't do! She won't do! She won't do!"
